Drowning in DST.

I think my dissatisfaction with this process can be summed up in one sentence pulled from KB 930879, that big monster "How to address Daylight Savings Time by using the Exchange Calendar Update Tool."  The sentence reads as follows:

"Note Do not confuse the Outlook tool installer package that is named TZMove.exe with the actual Outlook tool executable file that is also named TZMove.exe."

...the hell?  I mean, what the bleeping bleep is up with that?  Did Redmond think that this process wasn't going to be complicated enough so they decided to throw some ambiguous file names into the mix?

Grrrr.

Hey Laura,

What's up? Dave D. and I were looking for you at graduation a few weeks ago, but didn't see you. I tried to send you a message to your old account, but I guess it didn't make it to you. Just wanted to say hi and that I hope everything is going well.
